Water is very precious. The sky and the earth are beautiful and bountiful. And so are all creatures living on the earth, including bees! We need to take great care of everything because it is all so lovely and valuable.

In a funny and captivating way, themes from Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato si’ are retold for children in this beautifully illustrated book: Hello, Sister Bee. Children are taught how each one of us is responsible for taking care of ‘our common home’. Whether we live in a small or large area of the world, we are not its owner, we are responsible for it.

This is what Thomas and his sister Clara discover on their adventure in contact with nature. By following them, children will understand the message that Pope Francis wanted to share in his Encyclical Letter Laudato si'.
